[1thatswhatsup]

the rock is best intrercontiel champion ever but john cena is the best wwe champion ever

[BigDaddyGaryTheKing]

Best damn Intercontinental Champion there ever was.

[thatkid495]

at 4:24 doesnt that look just like Mick Foley??..lol

[danh279]

Don't be silly ya gotta cover it willy

[ShadowPhazonv2]

The Rocky Sucks chants always went well with the Nation of Domintion theme. Kinda like the You Suck chants with Kurt Angle.

[Th3KingC]

Isnt the referee that John lawrentis guy?

[727Superstar]

@Th3KingC no his name mike keyoda or somein like that

[mynewgps]

Jim Ross said rocks grandfather rocky maivia, he made a mistake there, he meant peter maivia

Also it's the last of wwf days when wwf had just taken f off the logo

[craigwatford]

@mynewgps no it's not, this is 1998, they changed their name in 2002. They've just covered the old wwf logo with the new wwe one as this was a re-run they probably showed.

[mandag34]

wrestling looks so much fun.

[BigDaddyGaryTheKing]

Lol, don't be silly, you have to cover it Willy.

[waliasaheb]

ken shamrock the best technical wrestler in wwf at that time

[kingdarius1991]

If this is the WWF days, then why is there is WWE logo on the screen?

[EVOLUTION2009OWEN]

@kingdarius1991 day can't show the old logo no more so own the new WWE logo now

[rjones345]

man I miss the wwf days wwe sucks bad

[MrBoyinthedark]

damn i did not know people hated the rock before did yhou hear the freakin crowd!?

[wikiwikiwias000]

@MrBoyinthedark people hated him but later liked him because of his mic skills and such, He was heal but still got huge pops as you know

[JulesGunn]

as much as I despise this racially ambiguous, alleged "black" man, once upon a time he actually was a worthy shit-talker but being the phony paper mache mouth-breathing hack that he is he gradually became a caricature of himself...XD!

[JamDizzle14]

who woulda thought the rock would become one of THE most popular wrestlers of all time, considering how he entered the wwf. even when he went back to being a heel so he could leave for hollywood, the fans still loved him.

[Krallify]

rock rock rock rock

[bonnyathome]

Would have loved to see Shamrock vs Angle or Benoit or even Lesner. Shamrock was one of the toughest and scariest wrestlers around. Shame he left WWE.

[BrianRichterTV]

@bonnyathome i think the same, if hey stayed longer he would have been an Main Eventer i think

[wctk16]

shamrock was better in the ufc :P

[KingOfDark29]

@wctk16 u do know that proffesional wrestling is fake right?

[Abhikblood666]

fucking shame that we never got to witness a ken shamrock vs chris benoit or a shamrock vs regal or a shamrock vs bryan danielson match....

[robmans42]

wow the crowd used to boo the rock and cheer for shamrock, damn did the tables turn

[Tobius11]

holy shit COLE !!!!!!!!!!!!

[cbb72]

wow rocky sucked back then :/

[elpasten8D]

1998? or 97? x.x

[SxeScotty]

haha before The Rock was the huge fan favorite.

[countbloodula]

hillbilly jr needs to stfu, i now have to mute this piece of shit match now!

[mikej690]

THE ROCK CAME BACK!

[babyface0514]

fuck the rock. he is such a pos. he is a huge reason why sting never came to the wwe. a wcw wrestler went 2 wwe n had seen the rock n tried 2 talk 2 him n the rock stated pretty much that he was a nobody n wouldnt get newhere. sting felt like he shouldnt have 2 prove nothin 2 ne of the wwe superstars. which is true he dont. cause he is better than ne current or hall of fame wwe superstars. only person who is equal is shawn michaels

[sylentknight]

@babyface0514 how do you think shawn michaels treated the rock when he first got in the wrestling industry ? there is a reason those 2 never wrestled each other...

[babyface0514]

@sylentknight the rock was just tha old jon cena thats all he is. cena said he is trying 2 get the rock 2 come back n wrestle him at wrestlmania.lol. the best of wwe wrestling is gone now. TNA is wrestling, it jus needs 2 get big time supporters n tv showing like wwe n it will be game over for wwe. tna is comin up fast though. ya they have prob sometimes but the wrestlers are better, shows are better, it jus little kids wanna see cena.. n all them fakes.

[sylentknight]

@babyface0514 well i haven't followed wrestling for atleast 10 years but if i did have to watch it would most likely be tna

[Lerlialen1]

@babyface0514 And no matter how hard Cena tries to be like the Rock he will never...EVER...come close. Rock made walking down the ramp look good. And unless Cena can stand there for minutes doing absolutely nothing and still have the crowd chanting his name than he isn't worthy of even be compared to The Rock.

Rock had something that Cena and everyone else in the WWE haven't. That is major SWAG. That's why he is the A-list celeb while the rest are stuck in the C-list.

[babyface0514]

@Lerlialen1 ya cena aint got the swag rock does but the wwe made him as close 2 him as possible. n how could u say f sting. when he was the most loved and admired wrestler. no matter what fans loved him. he built wcw n held it up as long as ne1 could. sting built wcw michaels built wwe/wwf. they are the top 2 wrestlers. and sting wasnt talking about the rock and booker. wat happened was rock told a wcw wrestler he wouldnt make it here n had2 prove himself

[CharlieMansonIsGod]

@babyface0514 you're proof that when someone learns to much about a subject there head get's to filled and they say the most ridiculous things. Sting built WCW? sure, whatever, I guess that can be your opinion when really it was Hogan turning heel and buying all the sweet WWF dudes from the late 80's/early 90's plus Ric Flair and the World Title. Shawn Michaels built WWE? You're out of your fucking mind.

[babyface0514]

@Lerlialen1 nothing against what your saying but ive watched wrestling for 20 years. ik it inside and out. ik how all the promotions work and the gimmics of wrestlers. and i have also wrested at shows. so yes my knowledge is above the average fans cause of my experiences.

[babyface0514]

@Lerlialen1 my mistake it did involve rock, but not cause of the who are you, but of how the wcw guys was going 2 be treated n he was right. every wcw guy was a pee on n had 2 work there way from the bottom. a wrestler such as sting does not have 2 prove nething. he had more talent than ne1 in tna wcw and wwe. he never had career n fans g up n down. no matter what sting kept getting bigger and better. no other wrestler has ever done what sting did

[Lerlialen1]

@babyface0514 OK I apologize for saying F Sting because he is a great wrestler. I just didn't appreciate you saying F Rock when the story you seem to tell had nothing to do with Rock. This is the first time I've heard Sting saying something like that but if Rock did say it (which I'm sure he didn't) it was probably because he was speaking the truth. WCW wrestlers really did have to start from the bottom cos Vince was being a bitch at how he was making all of them look really weak.

[Lerlialen1]

@babyface0514 I'm sorry to sound arrogant here but what has Sting achieved that no other wrestler hasn't? He was the number 1 babyface obviously when facing the NWO on WCW but he didn't exactly put bums on seats as much as NWO did during their peak years.

I think a lot of the wcw wrestlers didn't have to prove anything but the way the storylines were playing out in WWE you could sense they would have to. It was really sad to see such talents wasted so Vince can massage his own ego.

[babyface0514]

@Lerlialen1 in stings entire career he never went down only up. what i mean is if you look michaels rock hogan cena undertaker austin n so many more they all at 1 point in tim had fans hate them. stings fans followed him no matter what. no oter wrestler has had that bbefore. they all have had at least a small run where they wasnt as popular or didnt bring as much sting kept bringing more and more. n still is w/out wrestling. peope think sting comin 2 wwe so more people watchin it

[Lerlialen1]

@babyface0514 But they were hated at one point or another because they have all been heels. I don't recall Sting ever getting a push to become a heel.

And I'm trying to see exactly how big of an impact Sting made to wrestling as he is rarely mentioned in the same breath with the likes of Rock, Austin and Hogan. I don't think he ever made a huge impact like these 3 did and all three guys have had fans follow them throughout their whole careers while making new ones along the way.

[ThaOneChrisJONES]

@Lerlialen1 He was a heel for a little while in WcW.

[Lerlialen1]

@babyface0514 He's a great wrestler and his fans probably will tune in to watch wwe if he is on there but he wouldn't be able to draw the kind of attention someone like the Rock would get if he made a return to wrestling. 

[babyface0514]

@Lerlialen1 he just has a thing about him that fans and promoters cannot help but love he guy for wht he did for pro wrestling as a sport.

[Lerlialen1]

@babyface0514 If you're talking about the incident Sting referred to in his shoot interview than you obviously got it wrong. He said he didn't trust what WWE would do with him and what cemented that feeling was when he watched an episode where Rock and Booker were doing a promo...Rock talking and Booker came out, to which Rock said, "Who in the blue hell are you?" It was a PROMO and it was part of the storyline. If he's blaming Rock for that then fuck Sting and get you're story right.

[Lerlialen1]

@babyface0514 btw, If you watched most of shoots from wrestlers who worked with him, they all say he was great to work with and had no ego problem like...ehem...Shawn Michaels and HHH. Funnily enough, they are the only two ever mentioned to not be friends with Rock since they tried to bury his career when he first started and said he would never be over. Oh the irony...now Rock is a bigger superstar than both of them and he didn't have to play politics or fuck the boss's daughter to become one.
